I completely understand where you are coming from Andy.

But, not to drag this out.... To anyone concerned, that bike IS a TDR250... If something terrible were to happen, I think it'd be no different than if you were on a CBR or an R6. You are the idiot driver, has nothing to do with the machine.

If I were looking for a bike, I would not be affraid to buy it.

But it's NOT a TDR, is it? It's not even a Yamaha... hell, Martin77's "NSR-D" isn't even a Yamaha, and that has a YPVS motor in it!

It's not a case of "dragging this out", it's case of making the prospective buyer aware of what they could be getting themselves into.

What happens if the CHP guy that pulls you over one day follows a bit of racing, and knows what a Honda looks like? Let's face it, many of us are pretty geeky when it comes to bikes... I can spot many tell-tale signs regarding make of motorcycle, so who's to say he can't too? Sad to say, but I could tell you the difference between a Kawasaki ZXR 3-spoke and a Suzuki GSX-R 3-spoke, and I've never owned either bike!

There are plenty (well, maybe not plenty!) of properly registered NSR's in CA. It's up to the original poster to make an informed decision based on the available information.
